Wholesale broker Camber-ford Law has relaunched its scheme for tree surgeons, landscape gardeners and arboricultural and forestry contractors.

The scheme, underwritten by Lloyd's, covers a range from 'one-man-band' operations to multi-million pound turnover companies, the company said.

Camberford Law account executive Simon Carter said: "Already, after only a few weeks, the volumes of business coming in support our decision to place arrangements at Lloyd's.

We're providing brokers with a very competitive edge and comprehensive product for all their clients."

The broker said in the past it had been extremely difficult for brokers to place this type of business.

"Over the past two years several key insurers in this sector have withdrawn from the market, and, with few underwriters remaining in this sector, rates inevitably spiralled," it said.
